If you're gonna do some sort of kill switch, it would be cool to rig it up to a factory style switch, like a fog light switch of something. Just blend it in so they can't figure it out.

whenever i go into detroit, what i do is i pop the hood and take out the cable from the ignition coil to the distributor. worked one time when i was getting out of Joe Louis Arena after a Red Wings game. this moron and a few of his buddies were trying to hot wire it, and you'd think when they realized i was standing outside the window tapping on the glass they thought they saw a ghost. caught one, my buddy ran down another (track superstar), but the other two got away. took the city po-po another hour and a half before they got to the parking structure to take these kids.
My xj has the stock deal where there is a chip in the key and its not supposed to start without a signal from that chip... anyone know how well that really works?

Pull the airbag out of a junkyard steering wheel, stuff it inside the driver's seat to fire straight up and rig it to a remote switch like this:

I bet it would be even better if the rotten thief had his seat belt on. You've got an excellent attitude about it Fish Hunter; I'd be transforming into the hulk if someone stole my xj. Seriously though, I bet that GPS tracking system would even give you an insurance discount. I parked on a random street one night for cheap parking at a concert, completely forgot where I parked. I left my iPhone in my XJ, located it with MobileMe.com service, and I remember the feeling of being able to locate my Jeep on Google Earth. Technology these days.

Mine is two tone primer black and purple, with a cracked front windshield. After the third stereo was stolen...I stopped putting stereos in the rig. The inside looks like a mobile rat hotel most days...I find that the grime and detrium keeps most thieves at bay...



or park in crowded areas
